Actually, the common language of the Internet these days, is the language of whomever has the largest consumer demand, and the means to pay for your services. Given the trade agreements in the works, I think Babelfish will be bigger than Yahoo in a few years. In the unlikely event people start to see communication as something other than a transaction, we would see some balance in the languages people spoke. Unfortunately, it seems language is also at the ridiculous whims of The Market(tm) too.
